Being an arsehole may get you cautioned. It may get you suspended. It may get you locked out. These punishments will be delivered randomly, haphazardly, ruthlessly and sometimes without any warning. It will totally depend on whether or not I've had enough caffeine and nicotine. Arse Eels may be involved. When in doubt: just don't be an arsehole. If you don't know how not to be an arsehole? Ask a grown-up. Straight up: if you can't spend time on the web without abusing other people or generally fucking with things, you're going to get bounced out of here pretty sharpish. Okay?

* Don't Come Here Just To Argue.

It is boring to me. When Ariana or I tell you to shut up? It's time to shut up now.

* You Own Your Own Words.

But we own the Arse Eels.

* Whitechapel is Never Safe For Work.

Seriously. I mean, don't even think about complaining about that.

* Don't Post Your Fiction Here.

It makes the place a legal minefield. I don't have a problem with fan art, but fan fiction creates difficulties for me and any other pro writer visiting. This is not up for discussion. I refer you to Arse Eels above, yes?

And that's about it, really. You may run free, my children. Stick to the intent of each Category when you're posting. If what you've got doesn't fit any category, or doesn't fit anyone's concept of sanity, then into London Zoo it goes, and you can take your chances in the swamp there. God only knows what'll end up growing in that place.

We reserve the right to edit, add to or deny the existence of the above at any time we feel like.

p:s. I will certainly keep the part of not positng my fiction or making an (deliberate) arse of myself. ]]>

http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=5&Focus=605#Comment_605Wed, 28 Nov 2007 16:22:43 -0600Z Speak for yourself. In my day-to-day, I'm just as anonymous as I am here on the internet. There's no fiction in the fact that I'm beneath notice where-ever I am. The simple fact is, some of us would rather lurk and be left to our devises while still maintaining some connection with the outside world (so that we know what to say to the cashier at the grocery without scaring him). If I could ably and convincingly pretend to be someone else, I would. I'm *that* interesting. My main point here: the internet is full of fanboys and assholes who are fully and stubbornly convinced they *are* the next Warren Ellis, they gave Brian K. Vaughn all of their best ideas, and that Steven Niles owes them royalties for stealing their idea to do a movie about vampires and snow. These people sound harmless, but sadly infinite time (and in some cases, a fat wallet) can do criminally stupid things to people's brains. They will, in fact, sue your ass for having two cheeks, and file a civil lawsuit against the half that turned in pity. Not all of us are content being anonymous drones. There are people who would do anything to be noticed for five minutes, including ruining someone's career. Then there are the truly delusional 'you read my mind and picked it clean' people..

Warren: You know where the bodies are buried.

You say no fiction here. No problem. No need to involve the arse eels. I go lurking now.

http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=5&Focus=2181#Comment_2181Sat, 01 Dec 2007 14:21:08 -0600BrianKellettI've seen the 'no fiction' rule on a lot of message boards and I understand that this is so that some nutter doesn't try claiming that someone stole their ideas.

i.e Mr Ellis writes a comic about a dyslexic atheistic teddy-bear, someone tries suing him citing the 'fact' that they wrote such an idea elsewhere.

But how does an internet forum differ legally from work that someone has published elsewhere (fan fiction, own website or book)? How does this defend people against a random nutter claiming that a published work doesn't come from their own site?

Is it just because there is no way you can defend against not seeing something written on your own message board? ]]>

However, I wonder if a more entertaining approach would be to allow it, but make it part of the terms of service that all fictional works posted on here become the property of the board owners. Ergo, if said nutter tries to sue you, well, one, he can't, and, two, you could probably counter-claim for him stealing your IP (even though it was originally his).

...probably not worth the time though. Really not worth the time. Or the server space, because, really, let's be honest here: Most fan fiction is appalling. ]]>

Is it ok to fill up a thread with side conversations that might only be loosley related to the original subject matter?

Secondly, is there an acceptable limit to how many threads I should be posting on at any one time, or how many new threads I should be starting myself? I don't want to be the 'net equivalent of the noisy, hyperactive kid that some parent's bought to a grown up party.

1.] If the topic diverts, Warren or one of his beautiful & intelligent Assistants may 'Sink' the thread. In some cases (annoying threads; threads featuring unpublished material) threads may be 'Closed' outright. Wandering off-topic is acceptable if the conversation manages to circle back or evolve the thread to something better than it was. Additionally, threads may be moved to other categories if it turns out it's better suited. For instance, a thread titled 'Hellboy' in the Printheads category that turns out to be about the movie sequel may end up being moved to 'Art & Noise'.

2.] As for posting new threads, it's a matter of self-restraint and etiquette. I wouldn't necessarily start multiple threads in the same category in one day. It's a no-brainer, but I have to say it: look for a related thread first. If there isn't one, go for it.

I would also point out that hyperactive children that do appear on the forum are dealt with swiftly, and relatively fairly. You'll see it on occasion, and you'll know it when you see it. As long as you converse like an intelligent adult, and observe simple manners like an intelligent adult, you shouldn't have to be concerned. If you do have some concern for whatever reason, know that Warren- in my limited experience- does give fair warning, albeit only once (twice if you're lucky).

what's the ruling on posting a friend's works in the various art threads, she wants to contribute to the remake/remodel thread's et. al, but doesn't want to create an account as she would prefer to remain a lurker. She asked that I post them on her behalf, is this ok?

I don't plan on taking credit for her work, as that's not a particularly friendly thing to do, and it would be a bit suspicious if I, who have never contributed to any art thread before, suddenly started posting amazing art.

If it's not ok I understand though. ]]>

In the event of us non-mods being allowed free reign over the posting of a weekly Newskrusher thread, those involved would have to designate someone to begin the next thread each week, otherwise there might be multiple postings, cluttering, closure of all offending threads and, eventually, arse eels.

But i'm in no position to do anything other than speculate. ]]>

sometimes we're just slammed and haven't gotten around to it -- but most of the time we're well aware and have a Reason. Whitechapel is Warren's gardenTamagotchi experiment -- sometimes he lops offending bits off because he's bored, sometimes they weren't growing as said on the tin, sometimes a dry run gives him a good idea for something better, sometimes it's time for a break, and sometimes he just likes to kill the things you love because he can.

Hopefully the key word there is "almost." But, no, I wasn't seeking justification so much as specific information on what was offending you so as to more effeciently prevent a repetition of that offense. After all, it could just as easily have been the presence of Jim Cramer or Jon St ewart that was causing the offence. I am I guest in your electronic home. As a guest in your home, it struck me as only polite to learn what was offending my host so as to avoid giving offense in the future. ]]>

What are the chances of getting a t-shirt saying "THERE IS NO CRYING ON WHITECHAPEL" I suspect approximately equal to the chances of you making a t-shirt saying "THERE IS NO CRYING ON WHITECHAPEL"... ]]>

Are we allowed to use photos from the Self Portrait Imagethread for the Draw Each Other Imagethred, or is that up to the owner of said photo?

If someone doesn't post their photo in the Draw Each Other imagethread, then it's not for drawing. ]]>

People must be complete masochists to ask you why you deleted their posts...

I'm confused why people seem to want reasons when they know (or should know, if they read The Rules) that their posts and/or threads can get deleted without warning at the discretion of The Management.

Yeah, well. But it's not a crime to ask, right? Nah, forget I asked, anyway...

Oh, we all love it when you're a jackass and it's even better when you're rude or ignorant as well! For extra love, be creepy toward the women! ]]>

Warren may find humour in a lot of things, Shane -- but I am seriously starting to get weary of you going on a manic posting tear every time you change your name.I really am sorry about that. I wasn't aware that I was causing that much of a problem. I just have a sick sense of humor, I guess. Didn't mean to be genuinely hateful or anything.

People asking why threads got closed when you know this shit happens and that there is no crying in WC. Asking to draw pictures of people who didn't post them in the Draw Each Other thread. Being creepy toward the women. People stating that is ok to a male to be subdued into unconsensual sex because, you know, a man can't be raped.

I kinda feel like I should point out that I've only done one of these, and the creepy part was meant as a joke. I didn't realize that people would be upset by it.I'll be quiet then. Changed the forum name back, if that helps. ]]>

I thought I was being funny, clever, not annoying whatsoever. One of Warren's wonderful mods politely and graciously informed me of how wrong I was in my assumptions, and gave me the chance to self-edit or remove my post, so I did.

Later, on The Engine, I said something in a post that Warren objected to, and IP-banned me. Closed me out of the forum. I apologised and politely asked if he might reconsider. He didn't so much as respond--fair enough, since i already crapped in his house once, I didn't expect anything different.

I certainly didn't expect to miss the forum as much as I did. You know the countless times someone on here has said something akin to "only here can we find something like this?" Warren, bless his grace and patience, erects these places on the internet, knowing full well after years of doing this sorta thing, just what to expect.

A lot of crap, little thanks, and enough rabble to drive any 10 people insane. Moderating a forum is hard enough as it is, being an unknown person--being famous? Brutal. Warren is like the sharp-shooting cowboy who has to deal with all sorts of drifters coming in to challenge him to a shoot-out. Ariana has to try and calm him with booze and Red Bull and smokes.

Until you get closed out, until you see that one forum thread that you really, really wish you could respond to/add to, you really have no idea what you had 'til it's gone.

Don't push their buttons, because they have their fingers hovering above the only button that really matters: the BIG, red button marked "BAN" or "OFF" depending on their mood.

And when you think Warren is joking about the measures he'll take? He isn't. He's not known for his bluffing. ]]>

I like you and your sick sense of humor man. That’s why I enjoy hanging out with you and the rest of the gang in the back of the “I Did Not Need To See That” alley, shooting craps and talking shit. It’s just that Warren has closed other forums and banned people before. There are places here to be silly and places where we should behave properly. I don’t want to see this place shut down because Warren got pissed. ]]>

Warren mentioned that the SINK tags was for threads that bore him, and thus they would slowly fade away.When Ariana put the SINK tag on the DRAW EACH OTHER thread, she said it wasn't to get rid of it, just to make room for newer threads.Now it's gone. I'm a little confused, and a little disappointed. Also, on the bottom it mentions "this thread has been inactive for 5 days and doesn't want to be ressurected," with the last comment one day ago...Is it really gone, or is this a mistake? I really liked that thread, and clearly a lot of other people did, too.I know there are other Artist Threads, but this one had a specific purpose, and was personally a real draw (no pun intended) to this forum. Also, I would imagine, a real source of pride for GREASEMONKEY for starting such a successful thread. So, politely, WTF?Not sure how else to communicate to Those That Make Decisions.Not angry, just sad and confused. ]]>

If we need to contact a mod off-list, how should we go about doing it? The "mods" are Warren or m'self, so it really depends on what you need. If you need password assistance because you cannot get in to Whitechapel at all, there's a whitechapeladmin account for dealing with that in the password reset form. If you need help with Whitechapel and you can get in, it's fastest to ask here. If you want to talk to Warren or I directly, we're both pretty ubiquitous online, though our respective workloads may mean there's a delay in private response, depending on the query. ]]>

I don't generally get involved in the political threads of debate and discussion even though i would browse them in curiosity of others opinions or what they do for the sake of their beliefs. I certainly noticed the most recent one was understandably closed.

Nonetheless, I'm aware of a peaceful protest rally being quickly organized in Boston (peaceful gathering permit pending) to show support of a Pubic Health Care option day.

Would it be acceptable to post what information i have so far to Whitechapel?

I'm also not sure which category it should appear under.I certainly understand if the Powers-That-Be have had enough of political matters on the forum for the time being.

I've noticed people starting to say 'Thank Glycon' or 'For Glycon's sake' and stuff like that, and I'd like to encourage this meme. I think some more modern images and reimaginings would be interesting. ]]>

THE RULES could simply list the rules (which, let's face it, are fairly straight forward) without all the clutter. While the FAQ section could cover all the other bits and pieces, many of which could be (and have been in this thread) fielded by other WHITECHAPEL folk who know the correct answer. Then, if people read the FAQs first, this thread could be less than 16 pages long, especially when you consider how little space the rules actually take up.

I also propose a blanket ban on "why was my thread canceled?" as a legitimate question, a moratorium on questioning THE RULES (there's only 5 and they're noy confusing!) and suggest the first post in FAQ be "If YOU think you have reason to question if you're being an arse-hole, perhaps you should re-think your post". I know it's not an actual question but valid, nevertheless.

Odds are you've probably considered this already, but I've not seen any other mention of it.

There was a 6th rule too, added on page 4 -- "New rule: THERE IS NO CRYING IN WHITECHAPEL". ]]>

I would like to delete but am not sure how.

At the top-right corner of each post is a number like "(5.315)".If the post is yours, then it also says "edit" next to this number: you can click on the word "edit", to edit an existing post.You can't delete the post, but you can edit/delete the post's content: replace the post's content with a remark such as "Edited to remove fiction". ]]>

-I think the love thread would've gotten no trouble if you put it up in Blogs. But Warren doesn't like mushy woo-woo stuff, and the topic of love does tend to bring out the crazies, or the mush-heads. Knowing that it's not really to warren's taste and throwing a fit when he doesn't want it in his 'interenet house' (as I tend to think of this place) doesn't do anyone anygood -- much less yourself. We're all more or less guests here. It's our duty to try and behave well. We all mess up now'n again-- but as decent human beings I think we deserve it to ourselves and to Warren and everyone else to try and act like decent human beings instead of snappish brute beasts even when things don't go our way. We are entitled to nothing here. ]]>

I'VE TOLD YOU BEFORE ABOUT POSING WITH WEAPONS HERE.

It's my fault. I collect knives. I was making a comment on being extra careful. But I was careless with a sharp blade and nicked myself. It was a before and after shot. I thought I had dreamt posting the images the first time. @Warren I apologize for my unintentional insensitivity. I do understand we play here by your rules.

I know the comment was directed towards you, I guess I'm asking for clarification? Meaning, in one picture, I have a weapon holstered, and I guess that's okay? And somebody's FUCKRBEATR stick is okay, but would a pic from my training class where we're firing AR-15's be ok? Or an artsy pic with me and my Indiana Jones gun? Or is it that a few slipped through and it's Zero Tolerance? Before I post anything wepon related in the future, I want to understand the rules clearly, so I don't break the rule unintentionally. ]]>

And what you have against posting freakangels lookalikes images? Mostly because no one was interested any of the FOUR times you posted it, and if they had it would have probably been the same wank that the "who should play who in the movie" threads are. Warren and I have been doing this a while, sometimes we preemptively sweep clutter.

More to point: if a thread disappears, the solution is not to just keep reposting it until it sticks. This time I let it stay in the blogs because I was busy. Next time I'm silencing your account for a while. ]]>
